  1. My preferred German stuff back in the day: 1) Loader and tools for the Turbotape hardware mod by the Chaotic Hacker ... that setup saved soooo much time (600 B/s default, modded XC12 with software up to 6000 B/s). 2) Atmas II Macro-Assembler by Peter Finzel - lightning fast and very comfortable 3) S.A.M. program package by Harald Binner (published in German mag Atarimagazin, not the speech synthie by Tronix) - in particular the graphics editor/painting program blew my mind, full DLI support and pulldown menu driven! 4) Music utility Softsynth (published in German mag Happy Computer) - just wow at its time! 5) Bibosoft sector copier
  2. What's the point here? Take a decent pc painting program with all its functions and then convert it to the Atari.
  3. Any chance he remembers the name of that magazine?
  4. Will this book include marketing stuff like sales figures as well? Also it would be interesting to know from Atari people where the 'XL' comes from: is it related to 'to excel', an acronym of 'extended line', a composition of 'X' standing for 64k version (like in preliminary product name 1000X) and 'L' from the leading developer's name Lutvak or something completely different?
  5. Computer (in working condition): 1) NTSC version ca. $100-$200 at Ebay 2) PAL $300+ 3) SECAM $500+ Peripherals: 1) Floppy 810 ca. $100-$150 2) Tape recorder 410 ca. $50 Must have add-ons: 1) 48 K memory 2) Incognito board (makes old 800 compatible with 800XL if needed) If you need original boxes add more $, usually +100% for US version.
  6. Thanks to Kevin Savetz and others there are a lot of Atari releated interviews available as audio files. To be honest, as a non-native speaker some parts I don't understand acustically. It would be nice to have everything in written form. I know there exists a wiki with written transscriptions of some of the interviews, but I am interested in more To make it short: I would pay for a nice, printed book with index. You too?
  7. Wow, you are using a Wikipedia picture (the lower one) but you do not quote correctly.
